#pogchamps #chess - Hry
one of the coolest things about pogchamps is how they take all the players seriously even though they are amateurs. (the community at large isn't great at this, but the coaches and commentators are generally pretty cool) praising good moves and giving constructive feedback. it inspires everyone to keep playing and become better
That is such a constructive viewpoint. Kudos to you. I would say, 'look how shitty the chess community is!', but that probably says more about me. So, you know, high five to you. I honestly hope you are rewarded for that positivity.
Exactly. That's it. That's exactly it. Thank you.
Chess is a game of perfect information. Engines have an answer to every position, there is extensive opening theory, everyone can see how good each move is, and all players are ranked by elo. This makes us focus on the people ranked at the very top, rather than sometimes more entertaining and educational games at lower levels.
@@1.4142 Sure. But does focusing on perfect information make us a better member of society?
A good way to introduce people to chess. That's why I'm playing this game now.
Bro this guy makes a chess match seem like the NBA all star game
Nah, chess is great, NBA sucks. I get what you’re saying though.
Isnt that amazing?
More like makes the ABA sound like the NBA
That's why I watch him.
@@stellarjayatkins4749 both are great but also not without their faults
can we just take a moment to appreciate GothamChess? He uploads daily, his humour is fantastic (always makes me laugh), he just cheers me up after a rough day. And improves my chess a lot. Thank you for what you're doing :)
yeah. i can't get his channel's appeal originally, just see him as a random guest on Hikaru's. but Levy is really starting to grow on me.
100% fave chess streamer/personality
Indeed!
Everytime he made sarcastic remarks on my progress (increased my elo from 1100 to 1400 in three months). I don't know whether to laugh or cry. That guy's a legend. 😂
Definitely he is doing good job🙌
The real massacre during that match was Naka's comment about Levy's openings.
LMAO our boi Levy getting rekt
What did naka say?
@@silverberg1634 IM Rensch was saying that he's surprised Hikaru knows this strange Englund gambit and Hikaru replied that it's because of his frequent collabs with Levy that he was kinda forced to learn all the different gambits that are trash hahaa

Honestly, amateur games are a whole more interesting and exciting than Grandmaster games, cause you never know who's gonna make a blunder
Less draws
I mean. Same with Magnus recently though honestly.
Maybe for noobs. Blitz/bullet Grandmaster games are much more mind blowing.

Dont get mated, getting mated is bad
For a 600 pokimane played brilliantly finding a lot of best moves. Unfortunate for her it looked like Daniel had a good knowledge of the end game and that was probably the difference. Still amazing to see from both players and how hard they have studied.
The way Hikaru put it live was that although white's position was better in the end game, black had much clearer ideas on how to proceed which kind of flipped the advantage.
100% cheating lol
It is not really knowledge of the endgame as much it is the blunder of the h pawn, after h pawn was blundered Daniel had 2 connected passers and those 2 passers with a bishop were much stronger than the rook. Losing that h pawn was crucial. That was an instructive moment since beginners usually don't account for passed pawns, connected passed pawns, pawn majorities and potential of creating a passer in the endgame, most beginners would just think oh I have a rook, the opponent has a bishop so I am in a better position than my opponent.
"You gotta make the kabob"
- GM Hikaru Nakamura
It’s easier for us plebs to learn from these games, since a lot of the moves are relatable for beginners and intermediate players.
I’m 1300 rating and when I watch high level gameplay it’s hard to follow the abstract ideas and thought processes of GMs.
Dude, I totally agree! I'm only 1100, but I have no clue what's going on in GM games. They think like 4+ moves ahead and I can't comprehend that level of depth, I go like 2 moves ahead max.
But I understand what's happening in lower level games like this with more in the moment plays. It's really useful for me and most other players too. No one likes talking about how low their rating is, but like 50% of players are below 800. Low levels games are very effective at helping the majority of people learn.
You're totally right. GM games are super interesting and exciting, but every time Levy or someone is commenting on one of those and throws in "...now obviously you can't do this because this and this and castle and knight moves and you're down a pawn" I'm just like "...oh, it looked ok to me..."
But this stuff is like a game I would play, except people care. And that's fun to watch.
@@sunritroykarmakar4406 i need to refine the basics first, for example, not blundering simple positions. Learning from other beginners mistakes as a beginner is a much faster way to get better than to try to follow a GM's thought process, trust me. Or else there would be no point in analyzing your own games, huh?
Hello gothamchess, it's clear that you put a lot of work into your recaps and your daily uploads. I just want to let you know that we really appreciate this
Thank you John Marston, very cool!
Yup,
finally. games i can understand without saying “why doesn’t he just move here? oh wait mate in 2”
thank you
I’m in Austin and have no electric power, and I just spent 7% of my phone battery to watch this video. Well spent.
In Dallas, I feel you
Wtf!! That opening was not 650 play. She calculated that she would be up the exchange??
That was prep. Mid is your regular 650 chcess.
During live broadcast it was revealed that her coach, Anna, prepared this opening with her.
It might be her prepration
Truly deceiving rating
Most probably prep

Watch SubBattles, that shit is hilarious!
He is an analyst of the people!!!
The guess the elo series is so good too in case you haven't checked it out.

Yet they have almost 1400s. Smh
@@BigMamaJama He's 1600
He's 1600 but to be fair, hes a VERY strong 1600. He probably would've curb stomped just about everyone
@@Urmom-gm1oy what’s a “strong” 1600 (or strong any rating)? If someone’s stronger that a certain rating, you’ll just push past it. That’s the whole point of having an ELO rating
@@LaBandaRoja9 because plateaus exist. A strong player at a given rating is a player that shows great potential to be much higher (has a lot of skill, great analysis skills, etc) but needs a push to bring it all together and climb.
I had never watched a single second of Pokimane's stuff before all this chess thing, but I'm actually loving her playing chess: she is some crazy talented begginer.
Also, these were two of the most instructional games for a begginer ever to be analysed - this is chess teaching gold, and I credit it to both to Gotham and the players.
I really want to see Poki facing Michelle in the consolation bracket's final. And to see her back at pogchamps 4.
Also: Neeko also put a massive show, I'm not as hyped, because I haven't watched any of her prep, but she gave pogchamps an amazing start.
It is actually so cool that a poker legend is playing in this tournament.

Thank you for your wonderful content, Levy! A quick suggestion: could you add the clocks to the game recaps? It would be nice to have a clearer idea of the time issues involved.

so happy you make these even for pogchamps, watching live and then your breakdown, this way I get to see the full action and learn
When Levy is the first person to pronounce Sardoche's name right widePeepoHappy
People in the comments are like, "Wow Levy is just drooling over poki, she's trash."
He's doing positive commentary on everyone, genius. A twitch tournament isn't expected to have top tier chess. He could criticize a lot, but it's more valuable and constructive for him to say, "This is what was good." Y'all are just angry and sad because a *gasp* female is making money playing chess and you aren't.
And also she was just playing pretty well for someone who’s never played before all the training haha
@@KKSportsKKS She was in last PogChamps?
@@user-yi8mq1oe9g no she didn’t...
True honestly don’t like poki but I can definitely respect her chess ability
czcams.com/video/SicSjJhNKm4/video.html
Your natural pronunciation of "Sardoche" is perfectly correct. And by the way, it is even better than when you force the French ancent haha.
Pokimane: Starts playing chess
xQc: *ARE YOU CHALLENGING ME*
their battle would be legendary
They play each other on Wednesday lmao
no shot, poki loses
the trifecta triple juice is too strong
I think this was meant to be a jojos regerence, but clearly you are no memelord, yo.
I’m kind of impressed with the lower rated players really, poki found some really good ideas specially in the opening, Neeko and themyth were NOT playing like an 800 and 400 respectively at all
This is the best game recap video I’ve seen. Lots of gems of great advice in here, definitely learnt a lot. Thanks!
Feels like the low rated players trained a lot off stream, since most "imbalanced" games ended up very tight
Levy when he analyses any gm games :
"Classic benoni" and fast forwards 8 moves
Levy when he analyses pogchamp :
"poki is what we call up the exchange , she has a rook for a knight"
Pretty awesome commentating to bring the analysis to the level of the play.
@@moredots To the level of the audience, more like. Lots of beginners watch Pogchamps and get into chess that way, that's the whole point to keep things accessible for everyone.
i've fallen in love with your channel and now officially using your playlists to learn the beautiful game :)
If you are sad because there is no "Welcome to GothamChess recaps", Welcome to GothamChess recaps Here you go
Thank you random person who hates McMistrzyt. I needed that... 😔
As a french guy, I can tell your prononciation of "Sardoche" is totally correct ! Never thought you'd cover one of his game. Love your content, keep going !
I am so excited for all the pogchamps! Was watching yesterday and they were all doing so well even if their elo was so low! As a beginner it is truly inspiring!
Really good video! Brilliantly explained why what was played, what they could have, and the reasoning behind certain moves being better than others. Keep up the great coontent.
What pokimane didn’t realize was that everything you do in the board conveys information. She was all losey goosey eating a sandwich at the board.
nice
I understood that reference
Is it loosey goosey or goosey loosey?
Two epic references for the price of one
COMMENT OF THE YEAR
Watching you commentating and spending your time on game between 2 amateurs is so weird because you see tactical motives they didn't or they made a random move and you found whole idea around it😂
From now on when I miss a mate in 2 I will say: "Man I wanted to be more solid"
Most instructive video I’ve seen of analyzing games!!! Thanks for your awesome vids
I like these recaps as well as all the others you do. Nice job!
As one of your french subscriber, I love hearing you saying "sardoche"
is Sardoche's chess.com username (Sardochesti) a pun or play on words in french?
@@Lahoje no, it's just because his usual username "sardoche" was already taken and he liked the way "sardochesti" sound
@@gusgus8501 ahhh okay I see, thanks
@@Lahoje he lost the oportunity of "sardochess"
@@stevengalvan4658 would have been so good !
Pokimane's opening theory looked more solid but Daniel proved why he was the higher rated player in the middle and late games.
prolly cuz she was just prepped for the opening, and memorized the best course of action till mid game
@@raystevenson7827 "just"
@@L4ck0Ski11 Yes, obviously. I never said otherwise.
@@BlacksterVFX there are three parts to a game. She was only prepped for the opening. I don't see your point
Amazing video. Love your commentaries, can't wait to see more videos from you. Keep it up :)
Poki has surprisingly good instincts and tactics but lacks experience. I think she can at least reach Hafu's level if she put more practice into it.
Respect to analyzing a 600 level game. Even though we don't want to admit it, like 50% of Chess players are below 800 rating and seeing games at our level helps us learn. Sure high level games help us learn too, but I honestly feel that I understand what's going on more here than I would a GM game.
I mean if everyone was a GM it wouldn't really be a "prestigious" title now would it?
Hello there
impressive for 660 rating though i must say
Yeah she did great for how little chess experience she has.
Thank you Levi for your work I love your content and the way you go through the games
Early gotham whatcher : where are the timestamps ?
Levy : gone, reduced to atoms
Gotham you literally helped me to go from 500 to 1300. I was doing nothing productive this lockdown and you helped me into getting chess with your rating climbs. Thank you
I want to know your chess ussername
I am waiting for the "queen" and "simp" jokes now lol
Levy, you've mentioned Imagination in Chess before - auxiliary idea in the tactics series, reciprocal thinking here. Could you make a video about some of the concepts in that book, or even a video series that distills some famous chess books for everyday players to understand?
that thing with the bishop in the last game blew my mind
Anne Said that she taught poki this opening

amazing recaps bro, love the content!
Love to see you teaching
NGL, It's funny seeing the US Flag next to DNeg's name, so used to seeing the Canadian flag
Glad that daniel won, he needed that after Doug Polk took a milli😂
Nice recap! I love Pogchamps and this may be the best line up yet.
"Take one step back to take two steps forward" also said by Nipsey Hussle. That's what i like about chess, too much analogies that can imply to everyday life. Amazing
Wow. Deep bro.
You need to understand that everything you do at the chess table conveys information.
Last time I was this early Levy was rates 1600
My guy Levy was rated 2000 when he was 12
I feel so powerful being only a 1800
Your chess recaps are the best thing I've seen on CZcams
Gotham : uplods
me : thx
Forget all of these cancerous haters. Keep up the amazing work, Levy! I am going through my Chess lessons and it makes me so happy to see you giving coverage to people who aren't just Grand Masters. What we should all be excited over is that Chess is finally getting the attention it deserves and is inspiring more and more people to learn it. As a community, this is a major win.
I really dont get what rubs people the wrong way
Levy is literally doing his job as a coach and doing what he likes regardless of the creator, be covered all the games of that day!
Basically 2b2t
Excited to see your recap of this event!!
9:44 The computer stopped drinking for a bit, FOR A BIT
DANIEL NEGREANU IS THE KASPAROV OF POKER. G.O.A.T.
Is kasparov considered GOAT? I feel like he's substantially challenged by fischer and carlsen for the title?
@@dogperson432 no, Kasparov is undisputedly #1 due to his longetivity, noone else compares. As the comentators said recently, Carlsen would have to be champion for another decade to match Kasparov.

TRUEEEEEE
Ya that's true. But is people discovering Chess through Pokimane automatically a simp? xQc was the first one who made Chess popular so did everyone who discovered Chess through xQc also a simp? or is just because xQc is a guy and Pokimane is a girl?
I've noticed in my bottom-of-the-barrel life on Chess.com (rock solid 600), there are a lot of 600 and 700 that are just really underrated. I've watch Levy tear down a lot of games from 1000 to 1400 players that make more blunders than a lot of 600s. Pokimane is a great example of that
Lower rated games are just as fun to watch as super GMs just because how random and chaotic they are lol
@@lucaxtshotting2378 weird that you would see my comment and decide to insult me and talk up yourself. I understand GM games very well too I’m really solid at chess but it gets boring watching something be done near perfectly every single time.
We want justice for e-sports legend "Northern"!!
Yeah it is bullshit that he is too strong for the tournament he is like 1500, its not exactly GM lvls
@@omgwerockhard But he's significantly better than the other contestants
he's a solid 1400-1500 which would destroy all current contestants, super unfair
@@omgwerockhard He's also strong for a 1500 with a good back bone understanding he'll probably climb much higher pretty quickly. I could see him being 1700 by the end of pog champs 3.
rating capped tournaments are very normal in chess and I do think if he really is poised to get to 1700-1750 before the tournament is over he'd be such a huge favorite it's understandable. it does suck because I also want to see him in the tournament and I'd also like to see some slightly stronger players in pog champs maybe for pog champs 4 they invite only the stronger twitch stars and allow players like northern to play. If the rating range is 1200-1900 or something that's a similar spread.
@@OldManSilencer I agree. We need some Northern Lion commentary though...Ludwig did some last year, I hope they do the same with Northern because his commentary is *chef's kiss*

The analysis of player psychology is so helpful! Thank you for helping identify and correct bad habits.
The reason Levi is one of the top Chess CZcamsrs is because he makes the game so accessible to people trying to learn the game. Which is why people are watching Chess on CZcams... Smart. Haters don’t see it!
Why do people hate poki like wtf what did she do.
About 6 months ago there was a huge controversy where Poki was claiming copyright on videos where she shouldn't have. Objectively wrong, made her look like a jerk, and she made apology video and everything.
But her playing chess is a redemption arch.
people like to like hate on successful people.
There was this whole controversy about her supposedly abusing copyright laws, and even though it was debunked, the hate drowned that out. There was also a drama based on this guy who sexually assaulted and harassed her and her coworkers, but claimed to be led on by her, which made him think it was ok. But of course, people are just taking the excuse to hate on her and being willfully ignorant.
She almost pulls a Suzy lu
